I'm struggling to put into words the thoughts this sentence triggered. We're on HN, not reddit, so I'm going to assume good faith.
What reasons over the past 30-50 years have capitalists given the population to root for them? When your business model is to fuck over everyone in your path in a race to the bottom for the gain of a select few at the top, why would anyone expect anything else from the people capitalism stomps all over?
- righthand 2y agoBecause regardless of how hard you get stomped, the system is still capitalism. There’s no need to take revenge on journalism which could work well. The average American maintains finances by putting their money in a bank where it rots with inflation, of course they get stomped by capitalism.
